The "overrun" for is usually due to sports on a Sunday . . . . I don't watch golf so I can't say for sure but I know football is a big culprit in the fall when the new episodes are just getting started

Golf? Who watches golf?? LOL. I remember when I used to visit a childhood friend and her Dad always had golf on the way most men have football. Then and now I think the same thing - BORING!!!!

Good news for me - I can now watch Criminal Minds again! Yay!
Bad news for me - So Long NCIS:LA! Boo!

Re: Cancelled or Not?

It always infuriates me when Golf runs over ---- and it ALWAYS does, why can't they schedule it to accommodate for that?

My two favorite sports to watch are golf and baseball. Golf is always competitive, always play differently based on course, weather, and other factors, and many of the courses are just gorgeous. Both my sons feel the same way and none of us consider it boring. I enjoy football and tennis, too, but the first two sports are the ones I choose to watch first.

Football and tennis - those are my two favorites. I find baseball boring as well, but golf is the ultimate snoozer. Nothing says "nap time" like watching somebody hit a ball and then walk after it, only to hit it again, and all without the risk of being tackled!

I enjoyed The Mentalist when it first started. Simon Baker is a favorite of mine. Gave up watching, went back, gave up again and now only tune in occasionally. I think it could have benefited from a new time and place.

I loved The Mentalist too when it first started. Never missed it.
But Red John ran me off. I found the Red John episodes morbid, depressing unsettling & downers. They sucked the life out of an otherwise great, original show. As they became more frequent, I just quit watching & never went back.

I have had the same experience with this show. I don't think I've watched the last two seasons.

I agree with those above about The Mentalist. I love Simon Baker and I really enjoyed the show when it first started, but Red John just got old for me eventually. Like LittleSewandSew, I watch and quit, watch and quit, rinse and repeat. So, though we don't agree on watchable sports, we do in other areas. :)

SyFy renewed Defiance for a second season.

I think the SyFy network needs to take a good look at what The CW is doing for its fall lineup and do something like that. All they need is one or two good new shows. As it is no one respects the choices that network makes.
